00:00:00
cheating is justifiable.
00:00:01
Cheating in a romantic relationship.
00:00:04
When you say justifiable, you're falling
00:00:06
into the trap of if you explain it
00:00:08
scientifically, it's okay. We also have
00:00:09
a moral compass that's due to an
00:00:11
evolutionary mechanism. So, one of the
00:00:14
difficulties of life is how to navigate
00:00:17
through the Darwinian strings that are
00:00:19
pulling me in different directions.
00:00:20
Right? I've evolved a desire to gorge on
00:00:25
fatty foods. But if I do that in an
00:00:28
unrestrained manner, I become a sumo
00:00:29
wrestler and I die of heart disease at
00:00:31
42. So I've also evolved the mechanism
00:00:34
of self-control. So, the fact that I
00:00:36
explain why it might make evolutionary
00:00:38
sense to cheat doesn't mean I'm
00:00:40
justifying
